Little King's Story

Princess Apricot is the first princess that King Corobo will save. You can free her by smashing the vase she is trapped inside after defeating the Onii King in Dark Valley. Apricot loves Analysis and Science, and, of course, Corobo. Her special quest for Corobo is to find all of the Wonder Spots, since she loves to travel.

New Little King's Story

Princess Apricot returns for the sequel. Her role in the game is to be a playable character that can fight alongside with the king.

Like the original Little King's Story, she is guarded by the Oni King and kept prisoner until the King frees her. However, unlike the original, she was apparantly childhood friends with the king, who made a promise to marry her back then. She has no recollection of the time when the castle was invaded, but promises to do whatever she can to help. When comes with the king to battle, she cannot personally fight, but carries a special ability which raises the attack strength of the King for a certain amount of time.
